Laser equipment (lasers) (Russian market)
A laser is a device that converts pumping energy into a radiation flux. Laser radiation can be continuous and pulsed. Also, gas, solid, dye lasers and metal vapors are isolated by the type of working medium. The main areas of application of lasers are industry, medicine, science, weapons, communications and information technologies, culture and life. New generation solid-state lasers, fiber lasers and semiconductor laser diodes are actively developing directions.
2013
Global sales of lasers in 2013 amounted to $8.8 billion, and it is predicted that in 2014 it will increase by 6%, to $9.3 billion in 2014, according to DISCOVERY Research Group.
According to 2012 data, China is the leader in laser imports, with a value of $711 million, and Germany and the United States are the leading exporting countries, they are also among the top three importers.
Most of the industry's revenue comes from Coherent, IPG Photonics, Newport and Rofin-Sinar.
In terms of value, most of the Russian market is occupied by domestic lasers, but in terms of quantity, their share is only about 10%. This is due to the large quantities of imports of cheap lasers, for example, laser pointers, laser disco balls, and others.
Over the entire period, about 2 million lasers worth about $50 million were imported into Russia. About 30 thousand lasers worth $160 million were exported. This inconsistency between quantity and value is also due to the large volume of imports of cheap lasers.
In total, during the period 2011-2013. 30,077 lasers were imported into Russia:
- in 2011 - 6,736 units,
- in 2012 - 9,086 units,
- in 2013 - 14,255 units.
You can see the trend of increasing the quantitative volume of laser exports. The total value of laser imports for the period 2011-2013 was $162.5 million:
- in 2011 - $42.7 million,
- in 2012 - $67.3 million,
- in 2013 - $52.5 million.
The most popular are solid state semiconductor and fiber lasers. Imports of semiconductor lasers amounted to 1.8 million units or $4.1 million, and exports - 7.2 thousand units or $10.4 million. Import and export of fiber lasers amounted to 2.1 thousand, $3.1 million and 3 thousand units, $22 million, respectively.
Mainly Russia , industrial lasers predominate in imports and exports.
The main partners in trade with Russia can be distinguished Germany, the USA, Japan and China. Trade relations with China mainly specialize in inexpensive consumer lasers, and Germany, the USA and Japan specialize in high-tech and more expensive lasers used in industry, medicine and science.
